My lo is 11mo old and typically naps 2 hours after waking up for 45 min. 3 hours after that wakeup for about 1 hr, and a third nap is hit or miss. But the last 2 days she's been refusing her second nap at 3 hours and been staying up more like 4. I'm wondering if I should try to stretch her wake time after her morning wakeup to space her naps more evenly over her day? Or do I just let her stay up 4 hours before her second nap?

Just napped for 30 min after fighting second nap after 4 hours of awake time

4 hours is probably too long then. I would try to space the morning to 3 and keep the second period to 3
short naps usually mean overtired when you put them down.

@Mrs. Lion: oh really? Interesting! I do think she's overtired because were also dealing with early mornings, I just don't know how to fix it! I've tried early bed and late bedtimes with no improvement

Maybe try switching to just two naps that are a little later and see what happens? She should be getting ready to consolidate her sleep a bit more and taking fewer naps but longer ones. I hope you get it figured out soon! Overtired kiddos are my worst nightmare
we just got out of a really bad patch, so I feel for you
